Sergio Ragni

Unknown artist

Notes2: Sergio Ragni’s ongoing publication of Rossini’s complete letters and documents, meticulously co-edited by the collector himself, serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, providing previously inaccessible insights. With seven volumes already published, containing around 700 pages each, this monumental undertaking continues to expand our understanding of Rossini’s life and legacy. Ragni also shares his extensive knowledge with the general public through frequent articles published and lectures given in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France and Spain. Notably, his two-volume book on Rossini’s wife, Isabella Colbran, a renowned opera singer from Spain, offers a unique perspective on European cultural life during that period.
